The necessity of Hillary Clinton’s affectionate ad

Why is there so much stigma around queer couples showing affection towards one another? Particularly around the idea of seeing them kissing? In her latest campaign ad, Hillary Clinton has decided that it’s time to challenge that.

In the video, Hillary talks about the fight for LGBT equality, with her slogan “human rights are gay rights, and gay rights are human rights.” Not only has Hillary set a precedence with her presidential campaign ad, but she has started a conversation for the rest of the world.

As Hillary so boldly stated, being LGBT doesn’t make you any less human. After all, we are part of this fight towards human rights.
